Depends how good Atletico's sub keeper is.
Bayern have to be pretty clear favourites against Real and Chelsea will be very confident with the second leg at the Bridge. An ultra negative Mourinho special in the first leg should put them in a good position.
Bob Paisley's record of being the only manager to win three European Cups is under serious threat. Only an Atlético Madrid victory can prevent it being equalled.

I'm lost?
Everton go fourth tomorrow if they win? I am wrong on the points though as they would go nine clear of Man U so i suppose it might be the Europa League at best for Man U.
Lets talk about six baby
Oh right, yeah they will. I think NeverFeltBetter meant that it's not as simple as just catching Everton, they will also have to catch Arsenal and Spurs who have pretty handy run-ins. They have no chance realistically.
Courtois is free to play according to UEFA.
I have a nagging feeling Chelsea will power their way through this, nicking goals from set pieces and being solid at the back. I watched the Atletico v Barcelona game again (highlights only) and Madrid shipped 3 or 4 gilt edged chances. There's a big risk they'll do the same against Chelsea and pay the price.
I actually think Bayern are les effective under Guardiola than last year, although results say otherwise. Lots of possession but they play in front of the opposition a lot.
Yeah goggled it, was that side anyway, must be him or Vargas, but bloody brilliant
Vargas had hair but Feghouli had a shaved head if that helps?
Then Feghouli, thanks for that, dont look at an awful lot of football on the box, so was a joy to see him play, look forward to seeing him in the summer in the WC
Knew Chelsea would get the easiest possible game (again). No disrespect to Atletico Madrid.
Lucky, lucky, lucky manager is Mourinho.
They're only the easiest based on reputation. They were the most impressive of all the quarter finalists and have been pretty sh!t hot all season. If Chelsea beat them, they'll be in the final on merit.
Now this is interesting. Cech has hurt himself and is signalling he needs to go off. Chelsea's next best goalkeeper... is playing for the other team.
A bit of a snooze fest so far. Chelsea sucking the life out of the game. Atletico must at least make sure not to concede.
Liverpool could be the real winners!
It's been horrid. Both teams are uncomfortable playing against conservative counter-attacking sides, but Atletico are at home and have to do a bit more than this.
Terry struggling now too.
They certainly will be if Terry is gone too.
They've done alright with the opposition losing key players of late.
True, but 0-0 isn't bad for the home side.
Possibly, but leaves them pretty precariously poised for the away leg, especially if Chelsea score first. As Mourinho says: "If I score, I win. If you score, you don't know if you win."
